Dust is his caretaker now.
Setting: Chained Sky
Paw'Lit's is a spinoff series from the setting of Chained Sky. You can learn more about it by visiting its website.
In Chained Sky, every character is a story, and the world itself is a character full of stories.- The World is very, very flawed, but it tries. As it turns out, a world's craving for fast food was inciting enough of an incident to start a whole series of stories.
- Tarot: All aspects and celestial objects in this setting are based on the Major Arcana of the Tarot.- Amber: Amber, the essence of all things. Its most common forms are as coin or dust. Quite literally, people are made of money, and money is power.- Magic: Everywhere, flavored by who or what is using it.- Aspect: A god or goddess affiliated with the Tarot. Most have a race associated with them. People are effectively reflections of their progenitor Aspect, so there are commonalities in personality, looks, and even gender. The term "Aspect" can interchangeably refer to a god/goddess and their people.- Taelfolk / Taels: Their Aspect is The Wheel of Fortune. Visually, they are humanoids with a mix of cat and fox features. As a people, they covet fun, good food, family and of course, Fortune. There are four major bloodlines based on the playing card suits - Hearts, Spades, Clubs and Diamonds. They commonly refer to their goddess as Lady, Fortune or Lady Luck.- Phase: The Devil, a man whose obsessions are so intense that they infect everyone at a global level. It's compelling like an addiction, and generally lasts around a week. For this reason, obsessions are synonymous with phases, though they can have lasting impact and completely change a person. Some people take advantage of and profit off of these global trends.- Bandits: People sprout from the ground to act as vessels for Phase's obsession. They are innocent to a fault, but driven by impulsive urges that aren't their own. It serves as WHO they are before they have a chance to develop their own personality. This is how they commonly became known as Bandits. Their lifespans are often abysmally short, and the value of their lives is both a moral quandary and a point of debate.
